Dear Kathy and family, Even though I did not have the privilege of meeting your Mom, I have heard so many love filled stories about her strong work ethic, her kindness and her generosity I feel as if I knew her in some small way. I cannot imagine how sad it is to no longer have her physical presence in your lives. I know the world is better because she was here. Her actions (teachings) of kindness, generosity and love will live on. Sending love and light, Dawn

So very sad to hear of the passing of Ruby. Its hard to remember growing up without thinking of Ruby sitting at the kitchen table, watching the boats in the cove, telling you the news of the day. Always wondering if you were hungry, and trying to feed you if you were not. She has always been a great friend of the family, especially to Dad who would spend the evening sharing stories of days gone by. We wish the deepest of condolences to all of the family, and know that her memory will reach near and far.

To our cousins Margaret, Kathy and Janice and all of your families. Our hearts are saddened at the loss of your beautiful mom, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was a very special aunt to all of her nieces and nephews and always treated us with kindness. Our many memories of visits to your home throughout the years comes with laughter and joy and always a good feed followed by partridgeberry pie and cream and my own personal favorite, lemon meringue pie. She was like a second mother to us all and her house was open to family and friends and all the tourists Uncle Roy met along the way. In later years, we enjoyed our visits to Nightingale Manor and she always had that beautiful smile and was concerned about our drive back to St. John's and whether we had to stay alone at night. We remember our last window visit during Covid lock down when Aunt Ruby was concerned we would be cold standing outside her window. We wish we could be with you to celebrate Aunt Ruby's life, however due to circumstances we can't be there but our hearts are with you all as you lay your mom to rest. God has a plan for our lives and when he saw Aunt was weary and tired on this earth, he said, "Come home my child". Our earthly loss is sometimes too much to bear, but rest assured our thoughts and prayers are with you all in your time of loss. Until we meet again Aunt Ruby. We love you.

How she fed so many people in such a space will always puzzle me. There was always enough for one more and there always will only be....One Aunt Ruby. !! God comfort you today in your time of grief. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all

To all the Family: Aunt Ruby was a very kind and loving woman. I will always remember going to her house for lunches, especially during Christmas, and seeing Uncle Roy and aunt Ruby in such cheerful spirits. There was no shortage of food and deserts. Aunt Ruby and mom were very close friends. Every Saturday night would be a night at aunt Ruby's for the woman to gather. God be with the Family at this time and onward.

I was so saddened with the news that Aunt Ruby had passed away. What a wonderful person she was. So gentle, kind and caring. She was everything one would want for a mom. If there is a heaven she is there being welcomed by all, especially my dad. He cherished her. A trip up harbour for dad would be a stop into see Ruby. I always visited Aunt Ruby at her house when I was in Twillingate. Most times my dad would come along. A cup of tea, a bun or a cookie was always offered. One time she had pea soup on the stove and we were invited to stay for lunch. But, much to her surprise, she burned it on the bottom. She was very upset as she was famous for her perfect pea soup. Of course, there was no pea soup for dad and I that day. As you mourn the loss of a very special mother may you find strength in all of your wonderful memories together. She will never be far from your heart. The world has one less wonderful person in it.

Bob & Jackie / Bill & Claudine posted a condolence
I have fond memories of Aunt Ruby as a fun-loving yet considerably soft-spoken woman; she was often something of a peacekeeper in the midst of us rather boisterous and unnerving Watkinses. It would have been nice to have seen more of her, but the truth of the matter is that I seldom spent time in Twillingate after the early 1980s, and spent even less time there by the decade's end; so I saw very little of her in the process, regrettably. Her death pretty much closes the book on the Watkins family as I knew it in Robbins Cove. To quote Thomas Wolfe, "You can't go home again." Our sincere condolences to Margaret and Don, Kathy and Larry, Janice and Ed, and the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We would undoubtedly have been attending the funeral if not for the Covid pandemic and the paranoia, restrictions and bureaucracy that have accompanied it. Take care of each other, and hold on to and seek solace in your memories.
